Our exclusive listing of 

the most-recommended dentists 

in Sarasota and Manatee. 

Medical professionals agree that good dental health is an essential 

part of your overall well-being. In order to help you make informed 

choices, we’ve partnered with topDentists TM to publish this list of 

the very best dentists in Sarasota and Manatee counties. They were 

selected for inclusion in the prestigious topDentists database by their 

peers, who were asked to take into consideration years of experience, 

continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and 

technologies, and, of course, physical results. 

has more than 40 years in combined experience 

compiling peer-review referral guides in the legal, dental and medical 

fields. Using this experience along with the input of several prominent 

dentists in the United States, they have created a selection process 

that has been refined and improved over previous superlative guides. 

Because dentists must be voted in strictly by their peers, virtually 

every dentist is given an opportunity to participate, and listings cannot 

be purchased (and no payment is required to be listed), inclusion in 

topDentists is considered to be a distinct honor. 

This list is excerpted from the 2012 topDentists list, which includes listings for more than 90 dentists and 

specialists in the Sarasota area. For more information call: (706) 364-0853 or email: info@usatopdentists.

HOWARD M. CHASOLEN, D.M.D. 

SPECIALIST IN PROSTHODONTICS 

A cosmetic and reconstructive dentist and specialist, 

Dr. Howard Chasolen served as president 

of the Florida Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 

Florida Prosthodontic Association and the 

Sarasota County Dental Association. 

PROFESSIONAL 

ASSOCIATIONS: 

Prosthodontics specialty 

certificate and implant fellowship, 

University of Pittsburgh 

9,000 hours in specialty 

and fellowship training 

Past president of the Florida 

Academy of Cosmetic 

Dentistry, the Florida 

Prosthodontic Association and 

the Sarasota County Dental 

Association 

Located in downtown Sarasota, Dr. Howard Chasolen has practiced the 

American Dental Association-recognized specialty of prosthodontics for 17 years. 

Prosthodontics is the art and science of advanced cosmetic, functional, implant 

and bite reconstruction dentistry. The art of prosthodontics creates an exquisitely 

beautiful smile, while its science provides the training and research to apply the 

appropriate techniques, materials and technology to each individual patient. 

After dental school, Dr. Chasolen spent more than 9,000 hours in specialty 

and fellowship training. He was awarded his specialty certificate in prosthodontics 

and fellowship certificate in implant restoration from the University of Pittsburgh. 

“In today’s world, it’s difficult for patients to really understand credentials and 

select professionals to care for them,” he says. 

“There are many weekend seminars that certify 

professionals for particular procedures, but in 

reality, that type of training is far different from 

university residency specialty training.” 

Dr. Chasolen is committed to his profession. 

“I see complex dental conditions and failed dentistry 

that needs to be redone,” he says. “My treatment 

philosophy is rooted in sound principles that have 

proven, clinically successful outcomes. It’s my job 

as a trained specialist to do the research for my 

patients, determine what is a gimmick and what 

is reputable, meaningful technology.” 

“My treatment 

philosophy is 

rooted in sound 

principles that 

have proven, clinically 

successful 

outcomes.” 

That’s why his existing patients as well as many general dentists and dental 

specialists refer their cosmetic and reconstruction cases to him. “Complex dentistry 

is a serious undertaking,” he adds, “and we need to be responsible as professionals 

about how we present ourselves to the public.” 

It’s that philosophy that keeps Dr. Chasolen on the cutting edge of the profession. 

For the perspective of a specialist, call for a private consultation or visit Dr. 

Chasolen’s website.

WILLIAM H. MCELVEEN III, D.M.D., P.A. 

ADVANCED DENTISTRY, PERSONAL CARE. 

A Florida native, Dr. William McElveen completed his undergraduate 

study at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala. and then attended the University 

of Alabama School of Dentistry, graduating with honors in 1988. Since 

that time he has practiced dentistry in Sarasota. 

Regular attendance at professional seminars and continuing education classes 

keeps Dr. McElveen and his staff completely aware of the latest procedures and treatment 

in the dental field. In addition to training at the Institute for Advanced Laser 

Dentistry in California, Dr. McElveen has attended multiple levels of advanced dental 

training at the prestigious L.D. Pankey Institute. He and his staff use the latest, most 

effective techniques, including treating periodontal disease conservatively with laser 

therapy and using CAD/CAM dentistry to 

“Each one of my 

patients is an 

individual with a 

totally unique set 

of needs.” 

make same-day crowns. 

“My goal as a dentist is to provide the 

highest quality treatment available,” says 

Dr. McElveen. “Each one of my patients 

is an individual with a totally unique set of 

needs, and regardless of the time and work 

involved, I consider it my privilege and my 

duty to fulfill those needs.” 

Dr. McElveen believes that his patients 

want quality work with a high degree of caring. To that end, every examination 

or treatment is approached with the philosophy that the patient is special and 

unique. Working from only one treatment room, Dr. McElveen treats only one 

patient at a time, giving you his undivided attention. 

In a time when “walk-in” medical and dental treatments are the norm, Dr. 

McElveen chooses to slow down to get to know each patient, treating them with 

the care and concern they deserve. “This is how I have practiced dentistry for 

more than 20 years in Sarasota,” he says. 

By frequently attending advanced professional 

seminars, Dr. McElveen goes to great lengths to 

fulfill his patients’ needs.

SARASOTA ENDODONTIC SOLUTIONS 

ROOT CANAL SPECIALIST. 

Whether he’s treating patients or enjoying his 

family, Dr. Bryan Beebe is committed to doing 

the best for those around him. 

CREDENTIALS: 

B.S. in chemistry, Old 

Dominion University 

D.D.S., Medical College of Virginia 

Four levels of continuum at L.D. 

Pankey Institute 

Certificate in Endodontics, 

Boston University 

Periodontal resident, 

University of Maryland 

Dr. Bryan M. Beebe brings an extensive resume as a root canal specialist to the 

Sarasota dental community. A former assistant clinical professor of endodontics and periodontal 

resident at the University of Maryland and clinical program director of Boston 

University’s renowned post-graduate endodontic program, he has taught and lectured 

nationally and internationally. He’s been named among the top endodontists in America 

by the Consumers’ Research Council for the past five years and a Top Dentist as seen 

in Sarasota Magazine. In addition, he is president-elect of the Schilder Institute for 

the Advancement of Endodontics. 

Prior to his endodontic training, Dr. Beebe spent 14 years as a Dawson/Pankeytrained 

restorative dentist. He stresses a personal connection with his patients. “I feel 

very strongly that I am here for both my patients and their referring doctors, rather 

than the other way around,” he says. The patients’ entire experience, from the initial 

phone call through treatment (conscious sedation is an option) to the after-treatment 

inquiry call, is designed to be pleasant, relaxed and accommodating. 

Sarasota Endodontic Solutions boasts the latest technology to facilitate both 

diagnosis and treatment. All phases of root canal therapy are performed using dental 

operating microscopes. In-house 3-D, cone-beam, CT imaging provides unparalled 

analysis in order to determine best treatment options. Platinum-level digital radiology, 

apex locators, ultrasonics, state-of-the-art sterilization and laser technology are all 

used to achieve the highest treatment outcomes and to ensure the patient’s safety. 

Dr. Beebe is one of the first endodontists in the country to use a remarkable new 

laser technology called photoacoustic streaming. It uses light energy pulsed in a liquid 

to essentially sterilize the root canal. “I believe this technology has the potential to 

bring treatment outcomes very close to 100 percent success,” says Dr. Beebe.

TIMOTHY HERRING, D.M.D. 

TREATING PATIENTS LIKE FAMILY. 

“Southern gentleman” is an excellent description of Timothy G. Herring, 

D.M.D., who considers that title a wonderful compliment. “Many people are 

nervous at their dental visits,” he says with a smile and an Alabama drawl, “and 

we try to allay their fears with patience and communication.” 

Striving to treat every patient the way he would treat his family, Dr. Herring 

remains connected to the values that drew him to dentistry 25-plus years 

ago. “Being committed to my patients in a caring, compassionate manner gives 

me great personal satisfaction,” he says. 

Commitment to continuing education is a must in the ever-changing world 

of dentistry. Dr. Herring has been awarded fellowship in the Academy of General 

Dentistry in recognition of his continuing education goals, and he has participated 

in over 200 hours of post-doctoral training at the Pankey Institute for 

Advanced Dental Education. 

Being located near Sarasota Memorial Hospital makes Dr. Herring and his 

staff easy to find; Southern manners make them easy to remember. Dr. Herring 

invites you to “come by and get to know us.” 

Dr. Herring treats patients like family.
